Recipients of international AdvanceHE Fellowships

AdvanceHE Fellowships demonstrate a personal and institutional commitment to professionalism in learning and teaching in higher education. Across four categories, from Associate to Principal, Fellowship provides individuals with recognition of their practice, impact and leadership of teaching and learning.
